PICTURING THE IMPOSSIBLE
9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday - Thursday, Ages 8-11
Instructor: Christina Katsolis
Mix and match a variety of unlikely items (oil and water, food coloring, fabric and bright swirls of paint) to examine what they look like under a close-up lens. Learn cool ways to create geometric "light trails" when painting with light and even try photographing your subject under the blacklight. You can even paint a background for your subject using special phosphorescent paint that glows.Take your photographs from ordinary to extraordinary!
ARTFUL ABSTRACTIONS
9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday - Thursday, Ages 12-15
Instructor: Per Hans Romnes
This week is about the experimentation and exploration of light, shape and form to create dynamic, colorful works of art with the camera. Discover the artistic potential in a variety of household items. Photograph intriguing designs formed by wisps of smoke, the pearlescent colors of soap and chrystalized salts and even the "fractured" views resulting from your own custom-made kaleidoscope that will fit over your camera lens!

(POP)ULAR PHOTOGRAPHY:
CREATING IMAGES THAT POP
9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday - Thursday, Ages 8-11
Instructor: Lauren Luwisch
This week incorporates elements of classic pop art and other "hot" techniques that will make your photos seem to pop off the page! Start by printing your portrait on special thermochromic (heat-sensitive) paper that will change color each and every time you touch it. Experiment with ultraviolet "no pop" bubbles, plus trace and photograph your silhouette and other shapes against a glow-in-the-dark studio backdrop.
DEPICTING THE MASTERS:
TIME, MOTION AND MOVEMENT
9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday - Thursday, Ages 12-15
Instructor: Per Hans Romnes
Learn how to freeze a drop of water in midair or capture a balloon mid "pop" using special lighting techniques. Discover methods that photographers have used throughout history to stop motion and create exposures over long durations of time. Then, test out these techniques as you create your own images: use strobes to freeze your subject mid-jump or create levitation images that appear to defy gravity.

BREAKING NEWS:
THE PRESS PHOTOGRAPHER
9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday - Thursday, Ages 8-11
Instructor: Lauren Luwisch
This week campers will be challenged to both "solve" and shoot a variety of "breaking news" events around campus, including a mystery at the museum! Special press badges will be issued, giving kids the opportunity to investigate each news-worthy event and document the clues they find. Figure out the who, what, when, where and why and then combine your images digitally to produce your very own newspaper to showcase your efforts.
HISTORY OR HOAX:
THE "STORIES" BEHIND THE IMAGES
9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday - Thursday, Ages 12-15
Instructor: Per Hans Romnes
For ages, photographs have been used as evidence, but they don't necessarily always tell the truth. Seeing is no longer believing in our modern digital world. Explore the stories behind some of the most extraordinary photographs ever taken and discover some of the tricks used to make images that stretch the truth for many different purposes. Then put this knowledge to the test as you manipulate and construct your own images to fool your friends.
